Open on TED

Description

Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, would like to procure an integrated test bench that enables research in several active and emerging areas - areas that attract considerable national and international competitive financing: • Renewable Energy Integration - Testing photovoltaic inverters, wind converter controls, and grid-forming strategies under realistic and adverse grid conditions without access to a live grid. • Microgrid Design & Validation - Emulating DERs and microgrid topologies in real time to evaluate control, protection, and islanding behavior for both AC and DC microgrids. • Grid-Connected EVs & V2G - Studying vehicle-to-grid (V2G) bidirectional charging and its impact on grid stability; a field identified as strategically important for the energy transition. • Power Converter Development - Validating novel converter topologies and modulation strategies at power levels that expose real thermal and dynamic behavior before committing to expensive physical prototypes. • Cybersecurity of Energy Systems - Remote controllability and isolation of the bench allows simulation of cyber-physical attack scenarios on smart inverter systems in a safe environment. • Synthetic Inertia and Grid-Forming Controls - Testing virtual synchronous machine algorithms and synthetic inertia controllers against real grid angle swings, which is impossible with pure simulation. "Power Hardware-in-the-Loop" technology (PHIL) is becoming the standard method for validation of power electronics, converters, micronet management systems an
